Cabina Los TucanesThere is a small, but modern log cabina called “Cabina Los Tucanes” (TheToucan Cabin) located on the property, a carport and concrete storageunit. The property is situated on a dead end road which leads to theDendrobates reserve, from which the active Arenal volcano can beviewed, on clear days. The cabin is a mere 15 meters (50 feet) from thisreserve, which is part of the largest block of protected area in Costa Rica.This conglomerate of Parks includes the Children’s Eternal Rainforest(Bosque lluvioso Eterno de los Niños) and is amongst Costa Rica’s mostpristine and well protected natural resources.

Cabina Los TucanesThe Rio Cacao (Chocolate River) is a fresh water creek coming out of the DendrobatesReserve that runs clear year round and is home to trout, shrimp and other endemicspecies. It is the only natural border separating the cabin from this magnificent forestenvironment. Perhaps, now, you may better understand why it is possible, andcommon, to see dozens of toucans, aracaries, oro pendulas and other exotic speciesin the trees and sky immediately surrounding this magical cabin. This is a birdwatchers paradise. The best part of Cabin Los Tucanes is terrace overlooking thecreek and jungle.

Los Tucanes is a modern eco-friendly constructionCompleted in early 2007, the Cabin and garage comprise approximately 100square feet of improvements. The cabin is a cozy (70m/800 sq ft) verycomfortable design. We are also proud to say that not one tree was cut in theentire construction process, and the cabin is built up on stilts as to lessen itsenvironmental impact and gain an even better vantage point of the river andjungle. Built from farmed Chilean pine this handsome cabin has high ceilingswith ceiling fans throughout, and the double roof provides excellent air flow.

The Home The home is fully screened with aluminum doors and windows and nicely finished with terracotta Spanish tiles and handmade Costa Rican window treatments and hardwood furniture, which enhances its rustic charm. There is a comfortable new king size bed, and dining and living room sets for four. The comfortable, ample kitchen, bathroom, closet, and terrace areas all provide a refreshing change from your standard hotel room or commercial ‘cabina’.

The KitchenThe kitchen is well equipped, and includes an 18 cubic foot refrigerator, 4 burner gasstove and oven and hood extractor, a 9 piece teflon cook set, stainless cutlery andkitchen knives, ample cooking accessories, and a garbage disposal. Hot water in thebathroom, a safe in the closet and covered parking are all part of “Los Tucanes”amenities. There is also a concrete owners storage area built adjacent to the garagearea.

Perhaps the best part of Cabin Los Tucanes...Is the terrace overlooking the creek and jungle, where you can pass the hours away inone of the rocking chairs or love seat relaxing with a good book and a cup of CostaRican coffee, while listening to the creek flow by, or many of the endemic creatures ofthe rainforest.
